I am currently working on a URP in collaboration with the Mercer XLab at RPI. The goal of the research project is to create a human-interactive robot with the purpose of giving tours of the Mercer XLab, answering questions, and more. Towards this, I am using the Hello Robot Stretch RE1 to achieve these goals. I am independently developing entity detection - with the onboard time-of-flight sensors, LiDAR, and depth camera - using ArUco markers to set reference points for SLAM to reference to make a more robust solution.This upcoming semester (Fall 2024), I will be working with another student in augmenting the robot's capabilities by attaching a screen and full stack communication between it and the ROS2 nodegraph.

As part of the Size Charts team in the Fashion and Fitness organization, my role is to create a tool to enable brands to see historical size chart iterations. This allows users to be able to see exactly what products a size chart affects, who published it, and even get the data to roll back to an iteration.

As part of the Virtual Try-On team in the Fashion and Fitness organization, my role involved the creation and deployment of a annotation tool. Paired with a Optical Flow algorithm another team member worked on, this tool enabled training data to be annotated and utilized with vastly increased efficiency and accuracy.
